When Queen’s Guard Reyna has a chance encounter with Kianthe, the Arcandor Mage of Ages, their lives are forever changed. After two years of secret meetings and covert communications, Kianthe and Reyna finally manage to escape their old lives. The girlfriends travel to the quaint village of Tawney with the desire to set up a cozy book and tea shop. Threet’s distinctive accents give voice to the engaging and atmospheric world. The sapphic romance is brought to the forefront through Threet’s emotional depth and compelling lilt. The suspenseful parts of the storyline are well balanced with humorous asides and internal dialogue. Come along for an epic romantic adventure as the women navigate local politics, dangerous mysteries, and emotional intricacies. Written and voiced in a similarly thoughtful style, this is a sure bet for fans of Travis Baldree’s Legends & Lattes and TJ Klune’s works. —Shoshana Frank
